About The Book

Natural resources which are the backbones of the economic development of a nation are fast depleting. Anthropogenic activities as well as natural catastrophes have threatened the stock of these resources for future generation. Though, potential benefits of these resources are known to mankind, ignorance or carelessness of management of these resources has put them at stake. Spectacular advances have been made in management of our resources in the environment. The present book envisages the trends of research work, approaches and scientific methods of practices adapted using various tools and techniques for a healthy environment. It emphasizes on various facets and dimensions of environmental management. It provides an insight to environmental management which could help to evolve the strategies for better management of our environment. This book will be of benefit to both present and future students, researchers and teachers who are associated with studies on issues of environmental management.
